Although this is a fantasy and cannot be analyzed according to common sense, it still makes people feel a little confused.

Before I could think about it, I was slapped on the back by the fat man, and I was scared by him: "Xiaobai, look at ......" The fat man's voice suddenly trembled: "On the street...... Why are there so many people all of a sudden?! ”

I didn't know why, but when I turned my head to look, I couldn't help but be shocked.

I don't know when, there was a dense crowd in the village, I don't know if it was the villagers or what. And before we entered the village just now, there was a clear silence here, except for the sound of the wind, not even a shadow was seen!

What's even stranger is that these people move around very strangely, like a group of cripples, all going in the same direction.

Their steps are uniform, first moving one left leg, taking a step forward, and following the right leg to follow, the whole body looks very stiff, like a marionette, and like a zombie in a horror movie.

As they moved, the sound of "squeak, squeak" sounded as if out of nowhere, lingering in their ears, reflected in the white moonlight, and heard very clearly.

"Are the two of you playing the top or staying in the hotel......?"

An old voice sounded suddenly, and the fat man and I shuddered at the same time.

A dark figure, I don't know when, was already standing behind us, shrouded in a fog in the moonlight, vague......

On closer inspection, we realized that the black shadow was an old man with a hunched waist.

His face was wrinkled and piled up like the bark of a centuries-old pine tree, and he held in his hand what looked like a lampstand, but it was not lit, and it looked swarthy.

The fat man looked at me nervously, not knowing how to react. I winked at him, and then the old man's words replied, "Uncle, let's fight sharply! ”

"Oh, come in and sit...... Today, there is meat to eat......"

After the old man finished speaking, he hobbled around us and walked towards the inn by himself. His movements were the same as those of the people on the street, his body stiffened, and as he walked, the sound of "squeak" was incessant.

The fat man stared at me suspiciously, whispered in my ear, "Didn't you say it's all an illusion?" Why do you still want to eat? Aren't you afraid of being ambushed? ”

I also put my mouth to his ear to calm his breath and see what kind of medicine was being sold in this old man's gourd.

We followed the old man and walked into this "Taobai Inn" with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

It was pitch black in the inn, and even the faint glimmer of the waning moon in the sky was strictly blocked out. The fat man and I groped for a long time like a blind man touching an elephant before finding a wooden table to sit on.

The old man, however, seemed to have long since adapted to life in the dark, and though his steps were inflexible, he went straight inside, and in a short time he turned back, took two plates, and laid them on the table before us.

"Uncle, what is your surname?"

I had no interest in food, and my eyes were fixed on the old man.

"Me? You can call me Tauber, I am the shopkeeper of this inn......" The old man's body was hidden in the darkness, and he couldn't see the expression on his face.

Taobai Inn...... Tauber? My heart moved.

"Oh, Tauber, why don't you light the lamp at such a late hour?"

As soon as my words came out, a "squeak" sounded in my ears, and Tauber's body seemed to tremble in the dark.

"Shh Tauber's voice trembled: "Young man, be quiet! You are outsiders, you don't know, we don't dare to light the lights here......"

"Oh? Why is that? I feigned curiosity: "No wonder I see that there is not a single house in this village that lights up." ”

"It's not that I don't want to light the lamp, but I don't dare to light the lamp!"

Tauber's voice sounded like it was squeezed out of a bellows, and it sounded a little gloomy: "There is a monster living on the hill next to here, and every night it will run into the village, and whoever lights the lamp will eat it!" ”

I smiled secretly, but my mouth was silent: "Really? What kind of monster should it be...... It's all a lie......"

"Humph......"

Tao Bo snorted coldly: "Liar? Young man, to tell you the truth, just last night, my sister-in-law of osmanthus next door was eaten! The whole family of twelve people was eaten up, and only a pile of bones and slag remained......"

The fat man pulled the corner of my clothes, and his body was shaking: "Xiaobai, you...... Look at the ...... on this plate."

Hearing him say this, I hurriedly lowered my head and carefully distinguished the contents of the plate, and only then did I see that there were two lumps of raw meat on the plate, the color of pork liver, which had obviously been rotten for a long time.

At this moment, countless white maggots were rolling and shuttling on it, emitting a rich bloody smell and bursts of foul smell......

Seeing this, my stomach instantly felt nauseous, but I still endured the sore throat, secretly pinched the fat man's arm, and signaled him to calm down and not panic.

After taking a few deep breaths, I settled down and said to the old man in a pretended relaxed tone.

"Tauber, if there really is such a monster, then we are here! To tell you the truth, both of my brothers are enlightened mages, and what they specialize in is to subdue demons and subdue demons......"

"Huh?!"

With a "squeak", Tauber's voice trembled again: "Young man...... You...... Are you serious?! ”

The fat man looked at me and winked at him, and immediately understood, and began to brag about what he was best at, although his voice was still a little shaky.

"Ahem...... That's a must! Uncle, let me tell you, if you want to tell the names of our two brothers, the roof of your little inn will be overturned, and you will fly out of 108,000 miles......"

He shifted his big butt back, as if dizzy from the stench of rotting flesh on the table, and pointed at me.

"This is my senior brother, known as the 'jade-faced Kunlun Demon Killer', who once worshiped under the Buddha to practice, that is the golden-winged Dapeng bird, kicked the dragon demon of the North Sea, and the demons and monsters that have been killed for hundreds of years are old, and there are no 30,000 but 29,000. Even if the Jade Emperor saw him, he had to give three points of courtesy, ordinary monsters don't need to see it, as long as he heard the name of my senior brother, he would be scared to pee, and he didn't need my senior brother to do it, and he consciously committed suicide from the palace! ”

"As for me, Xiuwei is definitely not as good as my senior brother......

The fat man was rarely modest, coughed twice, and shook his head.

"Ahem...... I sent the name 'Mixed Yuan Immeasurable Demon Man', in vain, my teacher is the ninety-five supreme Taishang real person is also. Let me tell you this, whether it is the fight that defeated the Buddha Sun Monkey, or some Wonder Woman, when you see it, you will kneel down and shout Brother in a proper manner, otherwise Brother will reward each of them with two big mouths! ”

I was reciting the five-character proverb in my heart to ward off the stench of carrion on the plate, but I was almost amused by the fat man's words......
